Container World, a warehousing and logistics company that supplies much of province’s specialty liquor products became victim of a ransomware attack.
They were under threat of a demand, but they weren't sure if it was real or just a practical joke.
They made the decision to take the necessary steps to secure their systems rather than paying any demand ransoms.
It remains unclear why Container World was targeted, but the company stated that no customers’ financial information was accessed.
